it's been really great so far, catching up with luke and csb jeff (california sunshine boy), who i haven't seen in ever so long. also talking to fayewood and karina on the telephone, it makes me sad that i won't be seeing so many people before i leave.

i'm planning on going off to kingston tomorrow to visit tanaka and then saturday off to NYC...and next week we're off to mont tremblant for skiing time, yay! i only hope that this constant migraine will go away, somehow i'm not too optimistic about that.

other then that, "hero" is a great visual movie, very much enjoyed that. and vaughn mills mall is overrated, the only thing i really liked there was the outdoor store, THAT was much more interesting then the rest of the mall...come on, they have an aquarium with rainbow trout and hunting gear, and the like...

oh, and i played the piano at the christmas party at the toronto rehabilitation hospital on tuesday. wow, it was an exhilarating experience, having everyone singing along and just so happy. and i was happy that people were requesting songs that i knew i could play. oh, and the piano was SO WONKY. all the notes were off by a semitone so when i played middle c, it sounded like a b, and b sounded like a and so on....so wrong, but it worked out! ;p

and look, it's snowing outside now...

T-minus 16 hours --- last exam

god, my head is going to explode of soy chai lattes, spastic cerebral palsy, hearing disorders, cleft palate, aphasias and my all time favorite, neurogenic disorders of speech. it's been bad, what with my bouts of dizziness the last couple days, i'm convinced that the perilymph in my cochlea (ie, fluid in my inner ear) is messed up.

true to form, i've been studying like a fiend and i am SOOOO looking forward to tomorrow afternoon. i've already planned what i'm going to be doing after my exam: cleaning my room. yes yes, my room looks like a hurricane AND a tornado has struck...i can't see my bed anymore, i just crawl under something resembling a comforter at night and hope that the clothes and paper on top don't fall off the bed!

it would be nice to see some people before i leave christmas day, but i went to nisha's christmas condowarming party yesterday with shelley and it was a lot more fun then i anticipated. i do believe i have entered the age when my friends are getting married or scoring big shot career jobs or living in fanatastic places.

me? i'm going to be a traveller. ;p

oh how exciting, in exactly 10 days i will be out of this wretched city!!! i had been preparing to write another essay for today's exam (because the exam is 60% of our final grade, and come on, 60%?!?!?) but about 2am this morning i had a relevation, that i didn't HAVE to write the essay, it was only optional to take the stress off of the fact that the exam was 60%. it also helped that i hadn't even begun the essay and i was freaking myself out. so in the end, it all worked out. ;p

so i am now a starbucks dweller, i have spent the last two days studying there (there being the one closest to my house) and i'm pretty sure all the starbucks people know me. i even know which one is the manager, which is pretty crazy. i met this girl, raquel, one day sitting on the couch (which looks suspiciouly like velma) across from me last week. and the crazy story to that is that she knows my friend robin! i pulled the line "do you know..." and she started laughing and then was like "wow yah i know her!" fun fun times.

ok, i'm planning on catching up on some lost sleep now. but my goal is to start hardcore studying for JLS tonight and then review review review, and then kick some booty. (that is the plan, let's see how it goes!)

i am in SUCH A GREAT MOOD RIGHT NOW!!! finished bioethics and for the first time ever, i have a FIVE DAY break before my next exam! (i mean for this semester anyway) so i went out with the bioethic ppl after our exam and we went to o'grady's where there were kids from JLS promoting 'communications awareness week' and we had such a great time! (i am so in love with jon, he's like a cuter version of eminem! hahaha!)

it's been a long couple of weeks, and it feels great being so relaxed (oops, my bad, i had a margarita! hahaha) but now i'm going to go to sleep because it suddenly occured to me that i am EXHAUSTED. i'll have an update when i am more coherent! ;p

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart
covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled
inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful
heart
forever.


At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter.
When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking
of my own funeral...I'm a gynecologist."

The proctologist fainted.

hahaha, that is SO funny!
